Cooking BBQ should be a fun experiment with flavor and personal preference, so make both and see what your tastes buds like best. I always recommend trying both at some point to help you decide what is your favorite. Honestly, there is no right or wrong answer to this question, and this often comes down to personal preference.įor smoking, you can use either bone-in or boneless because smoking chops uses a low and slow method. One question I get asked often is whether you should by bone-in or boneless pork chops to grill or smoke. Both will smoke well and have plenty of flavor. Rib chops are the “traditional” chop sold at the grocer, but my absolute favorite for smoking is the center cut chop. For smoking, I recommend using rib chops or loin chops. There are slight differences in flavor, with many believing bone-in tastes fuller and sweeter due to the addition of the bone and extra fat in the cut.īone-in pork chops come available as blade chops, rib chops, sirloin chops, and center cut loin chops.

Don’t have a bottle of Sweet Rub on hand? Make it yourself with my recipe for Best Sweet Rub for Pork and Chicken. The texture is almost buttery, and they basically melt in your mouth. Plus, smoking a good thick chop ensures they turn out juicy and incredibly tender. Add in my Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub, and these chops turn out sweet, spicy, smoky, and savory. (Other good options include any fruit wood, maple, or pecan). I recommend apple wood pellets for these chops, because apple and pork are a match made in BBQ heaven. Generously rub on some seasoning, and you’ve got a simple, yet amazingly flavorful chop. Pork is delicious, and when smoking chops, you want to be able to taste the pork and smoke together. In my opinion, a simple pork chop doesn’t need a lot of fluff. They’re easy to make and only require a few ingredients. In fact, I’ll go as far as saying they are the BEST smoked pork chops ever. All you need is smoke and some good sweet rub to experience the best smoked chops of your life! They’re smoky, juicy, and incredibly tender. These smoked pork chops are the perfect weeknight meal that doesn’t require a lot of prep time or fuss. Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
